    The shotgun shell pouch you have is dated 1988. They first started making those during the late 1960s.

    The first pouch is an overseas made commercial item and holds two pistol mags.

    Although the shotgun shell pouch shown is of more recent manufacture; this style of pouch dates from the late 1930s. It was then known as the Shotshell Pouch, Model 1938 adopted to replace the Model 1917 shoulder slung pouch. The M1938 Shotshell Pouch was an issue item during the Second World War and known examples dated 1943, 1944, and 1945 are found in collections. Later examples of the pouch such as this one are essentially the same differing only in color of the canvas material, belt attachment devices, and ink stampings. A nylon version with ALICE mounting clips was also issued during the Vietnam War period and examples of this variant dated 1969 have been observed. These pouches have never been plentiful and the older (WWII) dated ones will bring a substantial price.
